AuthorTopic: Does Ramirez Care Anymore? (Read 1787 times)

He showed promise last year. This year he is a missed-tackle machine. He doesn't exhibit the reckless abandon, when tackling, that you'd expect from a premier safety. He has been in position to stop many long plays from happening, but has half-assed the tackle attempt, and long plays have been the result. Very disappointing thus far.

No one can argue with anything that was stated in this thread. I donít know whatís wrong with this kid. He looked like an SEC talent until this year. I had high hopes that he would be another great Arkansas Safety, but heís anything but that. There must be something more to this that weíre not privy to. I wish him well, but he needs to move on.

Ramirez allowed at least two scores tonight due to piss poor tackling and effort. He either does not know how to tackle or does not want to tackle. I donít understand why this guy is playing. Our secondary as a whole got owned. Coaches got out coached as well. Did not make defensive adjustments to OM QB running the ball. We had this game won but defense was horrible on the last drive. I knew even though OM had to go 97 yards to score, I knew we would allow it and lose this dang game. It hurts being a Hog fan these days. Woo pig!

Santos plays just like he has since he got here. He's a step slow and seems to always take a bad angle.

^^^this^^^ along with the fact that he never ever makes an attempt to wrap up. He brings some pop, but guys just bounce and keep rollin'. It is time to bring in Brown or Foucha or anyone really that is willing to attempt to make a tackle.

Ramirez is a "premier safety?" When was this a thing? Last year when we had the worst defense in all of college football?
